Wampanoag Survivance and Sovereignty in U.S. Public Education

Being in one of the frontiers of settler colonial encroachment for generations, Wampanoag people have continually found innovate ways to survive the schooling systems implemented over us, assert our sovereignty in micro and macro ways, and ultimately work toward a traditional educational setting for our students. By centering language, oral traditions, Dawnland pedagogies, Wampanoag citizens are finding innovate ways to combat the attempted, coerced assimilation of our people. In this presentation we want to share this journey with our kin in the north and those who attend and learn from one another.
